Chapter 142: ulterior motives

egions and see which industry is suitable for Anxian." 。In fact, Xiao Jingyu had some ideas about emerging technologies and industries. The e-commerce industry was sprouting in Hangzhou, and it seemed...Li Zhong had no choice but to say: "Alright, Wu Shuji, we'll be right back." 。Wu Fan didn't say anything, he just hung up the phone. 。Li Zhong originally planned to stay in town for a meal and learn more about the situation, but now Wu Fan asked him to go back immediately. As a subordinate, Li Zhong had no choice but to obey. 。Li Zhong gave Guan Wenwei a call: "Guan Town Mayor, I'm really sorry, Secretary Wu asked me to go back to the committee immediately to report." 。I'll have to go now. 。"That's a shame. I was hoping you could stay for dinner. It wouldn't take much time at all." 。Since Wu Shuji requests it, I'm not good at forcing my brother to stay. 。

I'll treat you to dinner another day.

Li Zhongdao said: "Sounds good" 。 。Those villages are really unfit for people to live in. Even if the common people had mountains of gold and silver there, they couldn't live long! This matter can't be changed by the common people themselves, it can only be changed by strong pushes from the town. 。Just that one sentence made Guan Wenwei feel that Li Zhong, the standing committee member of the Discipline Inspection Commission, had compassion and ideas. At the same time, he could also see the problems and their root causes. 。Guan Wenwei said, "Li Changwei hit the nail on the head. Our town has also seen this situation, which is why we have made up our minds to push forward with the 'Beautiful and Rich Countryside Construction.'" 。Especially comrade Xiao Zheng, who is currently the deputy commander, is also responsible for the specifics of the work. 。So some vested interests will certainly point the finger at him. 。In this situation, it is also imperative that Comrade Li and Secretary Wu provide a clear explanation. 。Lee Chung-dao said: “I can do it.” 。Today, I will send Commissioner Xiao to town later and then return to the county. 。Guan Wenwei said: "Good, thank you, Li Changwei. I'll call you later." 。Li Zhong also readily agreed. 。Li Zhong put down his phone, turned his head slightly, and said to Xiao Zheng: "Councillor Xiao, I'll take you back to the town now." 。"Xiao Zheng simply replied, "Good, thank you, Li Changwei." 。The car drove into the Tianhuang Town Government compound and stopped at the main hall. 。Xiao Zheng was just about to get out of the car when Li Zhong said, "Wait a moment, I'll go with you." 。Xiao Zheng said: “No need” 。Li Zhongdao: "What is needed" 。Then, Xiao Zheng and Li Zhong got out of the car together. Li Zhong accompanied Xiao Zheng to the hall. 。At this time, it was lunchtime, and some cadres in the town came out. 。Li Zhong intended to shake hands with Xiao Zheng, and even patted his hand lightly, saying, “Commissioner Xiao, thank you for accompanying us on the investigation this morning!”

Xiao Zheng said, "It wasn't hard work, Commissioner Li. You guys walk slowly. I will definitely stay for a meal next time." 。Li Zhong smiled and waved goodbye, then sat back in the car, rolled down the window again. The other disciplinary inspection cadres also waved to Xiao Zheng. Their car then drove away from the Tiangong Town Government. 。Many officials in town witnessed this scene. Some even saw the disciplinary inspection commission taking Xiao Zheng away this morning. 。They thought Xiao Zheng wouldn't be back! Unexpectedly, at lunchtime, Xiao Zheng returned! It seems that Xiao Zheng is really fine. 。

Xiao Zheng saw the looks on the faces of these township officials and finally understood why Li Zhong insisted on seeing him off. 。Li Zhong wanted the town officials to see that Xiao Zheng was following the Disciplinary Inspection Commission, and now the Disciplinary Inspection Commission had sent him back. 。That is to say, Xiao Zheng really only cooperated with the Discipline Inspection Commission to investigate some matters, he was not "taken away" by the Discipline Inspection Commission. 。This seemingly insignificant action could provide Xiao Zheng with a great deal of help,

implicitly seeming to speak in his defense. 。As expected, the officials in town were speechless when they saw Xiao Zheng. Those who had gloated before now had nothing to say, and even felt a little disappointed; those who had pitied Xiao Zheng were now relieved. 。Xiao Zheng wanted to return to his office first. He saw Mayor Guan Wenwei coming out of the lobby. Seeing Xiao Zheng, he smiled and said, "Commissioner Xiao is back. Come on, let's go to the cafeteria for dinner." 。Today I heard there is braised pork with bamboo shoots. 。Xiao Zheng knew that Guan Wenwei liked braised pork, but this time Guan Wenwei asked Xiao Zheng to go out for a meal with him, it was definitely not just for the pork. 。Xiao Zheng and Guan Wenwei walked towards the cafeteria together. 。After returning to the county Discipline Inspection Commission, standing committee member Li Zhong went straight to Secretary Wu Fan's office and knocked on the door, but no one answered. Wu Fan was not in the office. 。Wu Fan's contact came out from the adjacent office and said to Li Zhong, "Comrade Li, Secretary Wu is waiting for you in box 203 at the canteen." 。Li Zhong said: “Okay, I’ll go now.” 。He felt a little strange. Wasn't Wu Fan supposed to be waiting for him in the office Why was he at the canteen private room Could there be other guests, and did he need to keep them company

But when Li Zhong arrived at canteen private room 203 of the county government canteen, he saw that there was only Wu Fan inside. He was sitting in the main seat, with the seat beside him left empty. 。On the table are four dishes and one soup, still steaming hot. 。Wu Fan's expression was as if he were pondering something, his eyes slightly glazed over. 。

"Wu Shuji" 。 。Secretary Wu Fancai woke up from his contemplation, looked at Li Zhong, and smiled: "Li Comrade, you're back Sit down" 。"

Is there anyone else here" Li Zhong looked around and asked. 。Wu Fan smiled and said, "What other people do we need Today, I didn't let Li Changwei have dinner in Tianhuang Town, so he definitely missed the famous bamboo shoot braised pork." 。So, I have to make up a meal for Li Changwei at the cafeteria. 。。Wu Fan took the initiative to touch glasses with Li Zhong using their teacups, and then they both picked up their chopsticks and started eating. 。But Li Zhong guessed that Wu, the secretary, invited him to dinner for a reason, and it probably had something to do with Xiao Zheng's matter. 。Li Zhong took the initiative and said, "Wu Shuji, regarding the investigation into Xiao Zheng and his father in Tianhuang Town accepting red envelopes and gifts, I would like to give you a brief report." 。"Well, you said ..." 。Li Zhong then briefed Wu Fan on the day's investigation findings, particularly emphasizing that Xiao Zheng's father had accepted the red envelope and Hua Yan mainly because he believed it was a reward for his participation in the anti-mine shutdown activity two days prior. 。Li Zhong also emphasized that when they arrived at Xiao Zheng's father's house, the red envelopes and fireworks were intact and placed in a cabinet. They were not hidden or concealed. 。It can be seen that Xiao Zheng's father's words are credible. 。Wu Fan put down his chopsticks and turned to Li Zhong: "Li Secretary, besides these, is there any other clear evidence that proves Xiao Zheng and his father did not accept bribes" Li Zhong thought for a moment, shook his head and said: "There's no other clear evidence." 。"That's what I mean," 。Human behavior and language can be very deceptive. 。On this point, Comrade Li, as the one handling the case, you should be more clear than I am. 。As things stand, they have filmed Xiao Zheng's father accepting money and gifts, and these items were also found in his home. This constitutes evidence. 。And one more thing, which is very important. 。Xiao Zheng is the deputy commander of "Rich and Beautiful Rural Construction" in town, but what is his father doing He's helping people oppose the mining shutdown and making money from it! How can this family work Are they really at odds, with the father undermining his son Or are they just crazy for money "

Li Zhong thought about it again and said: "In their house, we didn't see any signs of conflict between father and son..." 。"Wu Fan smiled and said, “So that's why this family puts so much emphasis on money, wherever there is money to be made, they go there! These kinds of people say they won't accept red envelopes or gifts, do you believe them”

Hearing this, Li Zhong was also a little confused and didn't know how to defend Xiao Zheng." 。In Li Zhong's view, he believed in Xiao Zheng and Xiao Rongrong, but he couldn't convince his superiors at the moment. 。Wu Fan picked up the teapot next to him, topped off Li Zhong's teacup, and said: "There's one more thing I need to tell you about..." 。The county magistrate recently discovered that some cadres at the grassroots level have unclean hands, are greedy and petty, and their conduct is very bad. 。He was about to find a negative example to make an example of, so as to warn others. 。He also already knows about Xiao Zheng's situation, and he hopes that our Discipline Inspection Commission will dare to be difficult for people, dare to offend people, and through the investigation of some cadres' violations of discipline, to purify the air at the grassroots level. 。Although the amount of red envelopes and the value of gifts Xiao Zheng received are not particularly large, we should start small and give him some punishment. Otherwise, County Magistrate Fang won't approve either. 。Li Zhong didn't expect that Xiao Zheng's matter would be personally attended to by the county magistrate, who even made demands. 。This is a bit of a problem. 。Li Zhong has been in the Discipline Inspection Commission for many years, of course, he knows the domineering style of the county magistrate. The things the county magistrate pays attention to often have results immediately. 。Li Zhongdao: "Wu Shuji, perhaps I and the people from my department should go back to Tianhuang Town once more, investigate the matter thoroughly. For example, we still haven't figured out who took the photos." 。“

Wu Fan shook his head, still with a hint of impatience in his smile: 'Comrade Li, don't you understand what I mean Xiao Zheng's father took red envelopes and cigarettes. Even if he thought it was for his hard work, his hard work only cost 40 yuan, how could he take something worth thirty-four times more! This is a problem in itself! There's no need to investigate further, we can just call Xiao Zheng over for a talk, and remind him. He's obviously not suitable for his current position as deputy commander of the 'Fuli Rural Construction' project anymore.” 。"Do you see"

Li Zhong understood that Wu Shuji had already decided to punish Xiao Zheng, so there was no need to investigate the other issues further. 。And Wu Shuji did this because the County Head put pressure on him. 。Li Zhong sighed, when did this Party committee member and deputy town head, Xiao Zheng, offend the county magistrate

Over the past few years, any official who offended the county magistrate has not ended well. 。Li Zhong really felt sorry for Xiao Zheng. 。

But Li Zhong is just a small member of the Discipline Inspection Commission, he can't help Xiao Zheng.

Wu Fan saw that Li Zhong was a little absent-minded, so he said: "Li Changwei, I know you are a very principled person, so we cannot be blinded by the disguises of some people. When it comes time to handle things, our Discipline Inspection Commission cannot be lenient or soft-hearted! I believe Li Changwei can do this." 。The county magistrate is eagerly awaiting our investigation results and recommendations for action. 。Li Zhong understood: “The county magistrate is determined to deal with Xiao Zheng.” 。If Li Zhong disagrees, Wu Fan can completely hand it over to someone else to handle. Then the punishment given may be more severe. 。Li Zhong was about to swallow the last mouthful of rice when he said, "Wu Shuji, I'll go to work now and try to have the investigation report and disciplinary suggestions ready by this afternoon." 。"Wu Fan raised his teacup again, gesturing to Li Zhong, “Good, I’ll wait for your materials in the office.” 。Must take it out this afternoon. 。 with the Mayor of Hongshi wouldn't be a long one, and he would soon have to return to work. 。Hong Xu went straight to the point: "Tan Shujì, I want to discuss something with you today." 。When Hóng Xù...
